Research Interests

Dr. Rubin's research interests focus on cardiovascular and pulmonary imaging. He and his team are developing novel methods for automated detection of lung nodules in CT data and are investigating the impact of CAD on the diagnostic performance of radiologists interpreting lung CT scans. His is the principal investigator on a grant from the National Cancer Institute, entitled "Improving Radiologist Detection of Lung Nodules with CAD," R01 CA109089.

He also develops novel noninvasive vascular and cardiac imaging techniques and post-processing algorithms with emphasis on three- and four-dimensional acquisition, visualization and quantitation using multi-detector row CT. He is the co-Principal Investigator on a grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, entitled "Efficient Interpretation of 3D Vascular Image Data", R01 HL67194.

He serves as the principal investigator for the imaging core laboratory for two clinical trails – “Zenith TX2 Thoracic TAA Endovascular Graft, Imaging Core Lab” and "Biosense-Webster ThermoCool AFib Ablation Device Core Lab".
